Architecture for the Living World explores landscape and architecture as inclusive systems designed not only for human use, but for the broader web of life. The portfolio investigates how built form can operate as an extension of ecological processes—supporting habitats, enabling species movement, and fostering coexistence between human and non-human communities.
Across multiple scales, the work treats landscape as active infrastructure. Ground planes, planting systems, water bodies, and architectural elements are carefully integrated to perform environmental functions such as habitat creation, climate moderation, and ecological connectivity. Projects emphasize adaptability, seasonal change, and long-term resilience rather than static form.
Design decisions are guided by an understanding of the site as a living system shaped by movement, growth, and interdependence. Human circulation is choreographed alongside wildlife corridors; buildings become frameworks for vegetation, nesting, and shelter; and open spaces operate as shared territories that encourage awareness, immersion, and stewardship.
Through this approach, the portfolio proposes architecture as a mediator—one that listens to the landscape, responds to ecological needs, and redefines the role of design in shaping a more balanced and living world.
